About Us
BrightSide Media is the brainchild of Scott Hazard. Scott has been involved in online marketing and e-commerce since 1997 and has watched and been a part of the evolution of the Internet and e-commerce.
While spending most of his time in the marketing aspect of the online world, the need often came up for application development, content and other technical services. In a world where outsourcing can lead to disaster if the right firm is not selected, Scott formed BrightSide Media in 2005 in an effort to bring the necessary elements of marketing on the web in-house so he did not rely on outsourcing everything.
All elements of the online equation portrayed on this web site are the very same elements and people that Scott uses in his marketing business each and every day.
- In 2007, the marketing arm of BrightSide Media generated in excess of $4 million in sales for its own sites, clients and partners worldwide.
- In December 2008, the marketing arm generated just short of $1 million in sales.
- In the first three quarters of 2009, BrightSide Media generated $2.5 million in sales for our clients and our own sites, with a promise of a record breaking Q4 in 2009. In an economy where commerce is down considerably, we have shifted our marketing gears to focus on “need” items as well as tight niche marketing where the consumer we are targeting is likely unaffected by the economic hardship that affects most consumers.
Today we are proud to offer our design and development clients access to the same treasure chest of professionals and marketing information that Scott has assembled.
The services offered on this web site are tried and true and your complete satisfaction is the largest concern BrightSide Media has with you as a client.
The company was founded in Florida, where Scott resided for nearly ten years until hurricanes and the associated trials and tribulations convinced him to re-locate to East Texas.
Scott grew up in Alexandria, La. and often visited his Grandmother in Quitman as a young boy. He developed a fondness for East Texas during these days and the decision on where to go when it was time to leave Florida was an easy one. Home base is now in Mineola and Scott can often be found working on stage at the Lake Country Playhouse or enjoying the beauty of East Texas with his Standard Poodle, Gumbo.
